Greetings and welcome to our Village!
It has been an amazing year for the CF community, but there is still a lot of work to be done!! That's why we are beyond excited to join all of you and the CF Foundation as we raise awareness and funding that will allow researchers to find a cure for this awful disease!
Who are we?
We are the Falcone Four and our family has lived with CF for the last 37 years as 4 out of 6 children in the Falcone family are affected daily by CF. Our younger brother, Nicholas lost his battle with CF in July 2015. This year we are racing and fundraising for the 3 remaining Falcones and all other CF patients around the world!
What is Cystic Fibrosis (CF)?
Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disorder that causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucous that leads to major damage to organs in the body. CF mainly affects the lungs and digestive system, but many have issues with even more systems depending on genetics and the severity of disease. There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis in the United States. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends and co-workers who struggle every day just to breathe.
We walk for them. Will you join us?
How can we join?
All we need you to do to become a member of our team is click on the "Join our Team" button. From there you will register yourself, friends and family members! The more the Merrier! Then you can make a donation and start your fundraising!!
By becoming a member of our team and making a donation, you are joining a growing group of people committed to finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Together, we are adding tomorrows to the lives of people living with CF by supporting the search for a cure Today!!
Great Strides will probably look a bit different again this year, but making this walk virtual allows even more possibilities to participate and on your own time!!!!
We have 2 goals this year and we'd love your help meeting them.
1. We want the biggest team! So convince your family, friends and coworkers to join us!
2. We want to raise more money than ever! So let's getting sharing this message virtually or in real life!
Thank you all!
The Falcone Four
